Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

As Birzer and Robertson (2012) state, unlike motorcycle gangs, “the Mafia has an organizational and chain of command capable of supporting global-scale operations” (p. 318).

Furthermore, regarding the business organization, the members of the motorcycle gangs do get involved in the sale of individual dosage of drugs while the Mafia deals in wholesale drug sales (Birzer & Robertson, 2012). The difference in the organizational structures of motorcycle gangs and Mafia might affect the production and distribution of ...
